Redhat, Oracle and Sun Support Pricing

Thursday, October 26. 2006

The "Unbreakable Linux Support"-Announcement generated some buzz since yesterday. But ... you should look very precise and look beyond one´s one nose to take alternatives into considerations.

An example: Take an Sun Fire X2200 M2 with 2 processors. This is a system, Oracles marketing touts for it´s RAC deployments. Small node, not much availability knickknack.

Support 24x7 (Premium Support) for Redhat AS: 2499$ (Quelle: Redhat.com Store)
Support 24x7 (Premier Support) for Linux at Oracle : 1199$ (Quelle: Oracle UBL FAQ)
Support 24x7 (Gold) for Solaris X86 at Sun: 420$ (Quelle: sun.com-Store)

And to add insult to injury: The price for Solaris contains hardware maintance Monday to Friday from 8-8 with onsite technican in 4 hours. And now tell me that Sun is expensive, Oracle cheap and the Redhat pricing isn´t downright obscene.
